The All Progressives Congress (APC) lost two supporters during the presidential rally in Sokoto on Wednesday.
According to Daily Trust, the deceased include a 15-year-old boy and a woman whose names were yet to be ascertained as at press time.
Eyewitnesses said that the woman lost her life after being knocked down by a moving vehicle along the road leading to Giginya Memorial Stadium, the venue of the campaign rally.
The boy, however, was said to have collapsed and died inside the venue of the rally due to large crowd.
The Information Officer of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Sokoto Operation Office, Abu-Bilal Baba-Ali, told newsmen that “the two were certified dead after NEMA officials had rushed them to the hospital.”
He also admitted sleeping with the seven years old girl, saying the first time he slept with her, he only rubbed his manhood on her private part.
His words: “I did it the second time and I have slept with her five times.” Vanguard gathered that Mr. Promise, a popular vigilante in the area, had raped minors for many years before he was apprehended last year after he was reported to have raped another 10 years old girl in the area, but was bailed.
A Police source at the Sapele Police Station confirmed the arrest of the paedophile, adding that Promise’s case has been transferred to Asaba and he will face trial after proper investigation has been done.
